About the Item

Charles Morris (British, active mid-19th century) Rustic Landscape with Herdsman and Cottage, ca. 1860–1870 Oil on canvas In this tranquil rural view, Charles Morris presents an idyllic English countryside touched by soft, golden light. A herdsman guides a small group of cattle along a worn path, while a rustic thatched barn, nestled beneath gently leaning trees, anchors the scene in pastoral stillness. The wide-open sky—layered with clouds and subtle atmospheric effects—lends a timeless expansiveness to the composition. Working in the tradition of Romantic landscape painters, Morris was part of a generation that sought to preserve and idealize rural life during a period of increasing industrialization. His paintings often depict harmonious scenes of man and nature, imbued with poetic calm. The fine handling of texture—seen in the foliage, timber, and earth—demonstrates his affinity for the natural world and his careful observation of its moods. Here, Morris creates not just a picturesque view, but a quiet meditation on rhythm, routine, and retreat. The shepherd and his flock are small in scale, but central in meaning: symbols of order and pastoral virtue in a landscape still untouched by modernity. Through its humility and balance, this painting gently invites reflection and nostalgia. the frame is a vintage English hand made frame.
